More climate breakdown predictions:
Weighted net-like blankets,
Headboard extenders for bed or sleeping area.

Previous ideas:
Siestas,
Nocturnal cooking and eating patterns (a bit like Ramadan but) in summer,

Biphasic work patterns or maybe crepuscular (dawn and dusk, like cats' hunting times),
Shorter work week like 20 hours becomes full time -- since multiple rounds of neurodegenerative covid and unacknowledged Long Covid,

Dehumidifier to survive wet bulb humidity,
Cotton and linen skimpy clothing covered by loose flowy plastic crap instead of just using sunblock.

#FYI #heat #heatwawe #wetbulbtemperature (contd 3/3)

If you live in a climate with at least 85% humidity on average days, get a dehumidifier (a „real“ one, 5-10L/day water extraction), additionally produces water you can use for whatever except drinking. For drinking purposes you need to cook/filter the extracted water, since it is not germ-free.
Lots of mobile ACs are also two in one combination devices. Prices begin at ~$/€100-150 new.

More ideas in the manual here: https://mastodon.online/@IviChoc/113311498685006611

#FYI #heat #heatwawe #wetbulbtemperature (contd.2/3)
...Keep in mind you need to have at least a ventilation opening to lead the hot air exhaust pipe outside (e.g. a cat flap).

There are much cheaper evaporation coolers, which may be useful in extremely arid regions, but in normal humidity conditions may quickly cause mold.

A no-cost alternative in dry heat could be to hang a water soaked bed sheet in the room, in front of a ventilator if available. (contd.)

If possible: #Insulate your house/apartment from the outside, paint your roof white, green your walls with climbing plants, stick tin foil to the windows

Regardless where you live, if nothing else, just get a mobile AC which you can use in the smallest room in your apartment during prolonged heat domes, to get some ZZZs at night.

The cool room should be a basement, facing North, or one in the middle of the house with no outside walls. (contd. 1/3)

Casually checking #WetBulbTemperature during the heat wave. Not even close to 160 heat index, we’re good! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

I saw there was a heat #WeatherWarning for parts of Southern England next week and thought temps didn't look too bad.. but just realised most of next week night time temps are over 20c and daytime up to 32c with 90+% humidity which is actually not good at all. That humidity really is pushing things into the dangerous #WetBulbTemperature zone and suspect most people are completely unaware of what that really means.

"Uncompensable" means "deadly."

"Focusing on farmers (approximately 850 million people), our model shows that an ensemble median 2.8% (15%) would be subject to several days of uncompensable heat stress yearly at 2 (4) °C of warming relative to preindustrial. Focusing on people who must walk outside to access drinking water (approximately 700 million people), 3.4% (23%) would be impacted at 2 (4) °C of warming."

(Get an AC! Get at least a small mobile one suitable for the smallest room you have. You can get one "used but good" on ebay or other local trade pages.)

Brutal Heat and Humidity is Killing Many People Incarcerated in US Prisons

"...approximately 85,000 of the roughly 130,000 TDCJ inmates currently lack air conditioning in their living areas.

Last summer was the second hottest on record in Texas, with some TDCJ units reaching an astonishing 149°F. "

Screw that. This sucks. This has been nearly a month of sucktastic hot and humid stupidity. My body hates it. I can't understand how anyone actually likes it.

I think the only people who like this are either insane or have stock in an electric company.

How does heat kill? It confuses your brain. It shuts down your organs. It overworks your heart

"the wet-bulb danger point is closer to 87 (30.5 Celsius) [...] For older people, the danger point is a wet bulb temperature of 82 (28 degrees Celsius)"

> Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in 2022 suggested that limit could be lower. Scientists placed young, healthy adults in chambers that mimicked high wet-bulb temperatures and had them perform tasks that mirrored those of daily life. They found the limit could be much lower — between 30 C and 31 C.

Sadly here is a #MinistryForTheFuture related news item. The first chapter of the book is an account of an extreme #heatwave in #India that causes millions of deaths. Sadly, I think we will see something similar in India or South America very soon. Temperatures have reached over 50C in parts of India in recent days and there are now water shortages in Delhi. With night time temperatures only dropping to low 30s there is no respite from the heat. #ClimateCrisis #ClimareChange #ExtremeTemperature #WetBulbTemperature #WetBulbEvent https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/29/delhi-temperature-hits-499c-as-indias-capital-records-hottest-day

@CelloMomOnCars sadly feels like we are a whisker away from a catastrophic #WetBulbTemperature event .. the first chapter of #MinistryForTheFuture describes one in India and is a grim read.

@takvera

Expect northern Australia to become unliveable in future years.

“The wet bulb temperature—basically the temperature you can maintain when covered in sweat or a wet T-shirt in the presence of a strong wind—is a better indication than temperature alone of how humans feel under humid heat conditions. In warm-humid environments like the tropics, wet bulb temperatures above 30°C could lead to irreversible heat stress.”

New blogpost: wet bulb temperatures, part 2.

It turns out that identifying episodes of extreme humid heat isn't as easy as it seems at first glance, as it's sometimes hard to be sure if extreme weather observations are genuine or a result of faulty instruments.

I do my best to sort the wheat from the chaff.

I’ve been seeing a lot of interesting toots about wet bulb temperature, and the danger it can pose. So, I did some testing. Alarmingly, I found that an even bigger hazard was wet bulb electrocution 🫨

#WetBulbTemperature #WBT #climate

so TIL that the #weather service has a page for US #WetBulbTemperature

This measurement will prolly become really important, soon.

#WetBulb Globe Temp (#WBGT) measures #heat stress in direct sunlight & takes into account: temp, #humidity, wind speed, sun angle & cloud cover.
so it's way better IMO than heat index, which is taken in shade.

human survivability limit is estimated to be wetbulb 95F. It's wetbulb 91 in south texas right now
